Upgrading to this Release

Admin Manager

New Feature

• A new page gives Environment admins the option to add a link to a custom GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) privacy notice in the App menu:
  
  

  Open

  

Enhancements

• The File Access Event (files viewed, downloaded, or accessed) displays in the Activity log under Description. File access events have the format: <user id> accessed the file <FileName> under Project <path> in environment <org name>.

Known Issue

• In Asset catalog app configuration, if non-administrators have access to the Asset catalog, they can view all assets in the environment, including those they might not have permission to view.

AgentCreator

New Features

• For the OpenAI Snap Pack, added the following Snaps:

  • OpenAI Assistants Submit Tool Outputs: Submits a list of tool outputs to be fed back into the model as input for further processing by calling the Submit tool outputs to run API.

  • OpenAI Assistants Tool Call Router: Routes the input run object into two output views. The first output view passes the run object from the input, which also consists of an empty array. The second output view includes the list of tools to be called.

Enhancements

• Enhanced the Create and Run Thread and Run Thread Snaps to enable the tool calling capability for the assistants in the OpenAI Snap Pack.

• Azure OpenAI LLM: Enhanced the following accounts in the Snap Pack with the Read timeout (seconds) field that enables the Snap to wait for a response from Azure:

  • Azure OpenAI API Key Account

  • Azure OpenAI Entra ID Application Account

  • Azure OpenAI Entra ID User Account

  • Azure OpenAI Entra Token Account

API Management

Fixed Issues

• Secrets Management is now available again to use with APIM.  This feature was temporarily paused, to fix an internal issue.

Behavior Change

• The Developer Portal no longer displays empty tags added during API Version or Proxy creation in the API details view.

AutoSync

Enhancements

• You can now configure AutoSync to create a table in the target to store error records for the SQL Server and SQL Server Bulk Load endpoints.

• A new Ignore constraints checkbox for the Salesforce endpoint causes AutoSync to load nullable fields in non-nullable columns and to load decimal fields as the target float type with a precision of 8. This prevents load failures when Salesforce does not enforce its own constraints.

Documentation Enhancements

Articles describing how to work with projects were added to the new site for this release:

• Classic Manager Projects

Monitor

Enhancements

• The Asset catalog can now infer the source and destination endpoints for pipelines that use HTTP and REST Snaps.

Fixed Issues

• The Asset catalog Edit metadata functionality in the Custom tab of task details has been fixed. When editing, if you click Clear to remove an existing value and then click Cancel, the value is retained as expected.

• In the Asset catalog Pipelines tab, when you filter by the Path column, a search now returns all pipelines that match.

• The Asset catalog Execution statistics tab for task and pipeline details now contain data.

• Node details no longer include Max threads or Max slots on the Additional details tab because they were incorrect. For consistency, Max jvm heap is now Max heap size:
  
  

• On the Insights page large numbers are now indicated with standard abbreviations, K for thousands, M for millions, and B for billions. For example:
  
  

Known Issues

• The following Asset catalog column filters do not work: Status, Source, Destination, Account, and for pipelines, Created date and Updated date.

• Some of the patterns with multiple pipelines in the Public Pattern Library do not get downloaded into the specified Project space.

• If you give non-administrators access to the Asset catalog, they can view all assets in the environment, including those they might not have permission to view.

Platform

Enhancements

• To conform with the OpenAPI specification, Data Lineage external endpoint namespaces now provide more information. In addition to the endpoint name, the namespace includes the host and port number: <system_name>:<host>:<port>. For example, a PostgreSQL namespace might look like this: postgres://35.232.158.111:5432.

Known Issues

• Some of the patterns with multiple pipelines in the Public Pattern Library do not get downloaded into the specified Project space.

Snaps

New

• Introduced the Snap Trial feature that enables you to view add-on Snap Packs in the Snap Catalog. Use the Request trial link to try out Snap Packs that you do not have a subscription for. Learn more.

• You now have the option to restrict Snap visibility for a group of users. This hides them only in the Designer list of Snaps and does not impact pipelines that contain the Snaps or other users. To do this, provide your CSM a list of Snaps or Snap Packs to hide. After your environment is configured, create a group and add the users you want to restrict. Learn more.

Enhancements

• JDBC

  • Upgraded the JOOQ library of the JDBC Snap Pack from v3.9.1 to v3.17.x. Pipelines using the Generic - JDBC Snaps might be impacted by the jOOQ upgrade because the latest jOOQ version is not fully backward-compatible. Learn more.

• SAP

  • Enhanced the SAP Execute Snap with the Round to SAP decimal checkbox that enables the Snap to round the decimal value to match the number of decimal places defined in the SAP target field. This property only applies to the SAP packed decimal fields, which store data in the BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) format.

Breaking Changes

• Generic JDBC: With the 439patches29008 Snap Pack version, existing pipelines using the Generic JDBC Execute and Select Snaps may experience issues when connecting to the Oracle endpoint, specifically when handling the encoded ROWID (manually processing the Base64-encoded data). To avoid potential pipeline failures, it is recommended to downgrade the Generic JDBC Snap Pack to the previous version until the issue is resolved.

Behavior Changes

• Generic JDBC: Earlier, the ROWID columns were displayed in binary (Base64 encoded data) form in the output. With the 439patches29008, the Generic JDBC Execute and Select Snaps that integrate with the Oracle endpoint display the ROWID columns in string form in the output (which can be used for other operations downstream).

Known Issues

• When the Teradata FastLoad Snap pauses, both the target and error tables get locked.
  Workaround: You must manually drop these tables before retrying the fast-load job.

SnapGPT

Enhancements

• Improved look and feel:
